From Gray to Green: Stropharia

Just buried my Stropharia spawn- now to cross my fingers and wait til Fall.

I got my spawn from a talk by the Cascade Mycological Society. I buried some in the carrot bed, and some in the tomato bed.

Elizabeth Evans McNabb This sounds like something from a science fiction novel.

Hal Hurst You mean something like this?

It will spend all summer quietly growing Its network of silvery threads wider and wider underground- then its phallic fruiting bodies will rise from its shallow grave by the light of the harvest moon. By then there will be no way to stop it from enhancing the productivity of the vegetables in the garden, and its millions of spores will spread it inexorably throughout the plantings. Even though we may tear it from the ground and fry it to death in garlic butter; even as its juices run down our slavering chins, it will not be deterred from its insidious plan.

Hal Hurst Q, from what I learned last night, I think I may have unwittingly killed that other spawn before I gave it to you last year. And I really didn't know then how to plant it. If this works for me, and if you're not in Costa Rica, I will plant some for you the next season.
